California ballot initiative aims to make it harder to acquire ammunition

3. Great way to hand millions more over to the NRA

Ammunition has been considered part of "arms" as far as legal issues for decades. So "stop trying to be too cute by half" as the Appellate court told the City of Chicago when it tried to ban ammo and shooting ranges in the city limits.

The material required to exercise a constitutional right is intrinsic to that right. See Minneapolis Star Tribune vs. County Assessor, over excessive taxing on printers ink. It wont fly any more than any outright ban will pass legal muster.

It will just mean Cali will be writing a big check to the NRA, SAF and anybody else that gets in on the suit for at minimum 7 figures for legal fees.

But I'm sure the two shooters would have obeyed this new law because it's so special and creative, while walking past several "no guns allowed" signs to commit multiple murders.
